Community School Builder has been an outstanding choice for us. From the beginning, they listened to what we wanted from a website and provided it in style. Even more important, as our needs and vision have changed and clarified, CSB has been anxious to incorporate changes in our site that support those needs. They are timely, helpful and dedicated to making our website the best it can be. I have received numerous comments from community members regarding how much they like the look of our site, as well the value they receive from it.

Dr. Stephen HollandSuperintendent, Raymond School District

CSB has provided a level of service that astounds us. Our school feels like we are CSB's only customer. Most times, our requests are handled within minutes. We have held several free training sessions with different levels of employees to ensure everyone knows how to use the website properly. One of the main reasons we switched to CSB was the slick layout combined with the easiest user interface we had sampled. CSB took our old website and built a new site for us which we then customized to our taste before it was launched. We got all of this for the least inexpensive quote of any company we looked at.

Eminence R-1 School District

Our district hosted it's own plain HTML site before we switched to Community School Builder. To make large changes to our site was a very time consuming, but after making the switch, management of our site is much easier. The content management system is modern web standards compliant, and features a robust editor that makes generating content fast and easy. The plugins for web 2.0 features like e-newsletters and video gallery really helped to make our site look more modernized. The service from Community School Builder has been fantastic. Our entire site was migrated for us, and generation of our site design was completely taken care of with general layout input from us. That entire process only lasted a few weeks, and we were online and ready to go. Our primary point of contact is fast to respond, and efficient in helping us resolve any issues we have come across along the way. He even designed a separate section of our site that is an independent area for our teachers to create their own personal sites for parents and students. Almost every question we've had, or minor tweak we wanted to make to the overall system was taken care of the same day, or by morning the next day. Overall we have been extremely happy with Community School Builder from a service and product standpoint.

Our school has been in operation for about 3 years now. From the beginning we have been designing our website(s) on our own.

I will make sure that all off the other schools in the area are well aware of CSB. They have been phenomenal throughout our entire conversion process as well as the nit-picky things we would like. Thank you CSB! No more guessing on webpage design or developing, Community School Builder will always win in our organization.

Price is dependant upon the number of website instances and is billed on an annual basis. A single school would be one instances (installation) of the CMS and Education Package. For example, a District with ten schools may choose to have their schools included within one instance, however, the option for the district to grant each school with their own autonomous website is preferred. This solution stands to free the district of the burden of continually updating each schools website by allowing them freedom to control their own content. We do understand that smaller districts or schools may not have the financial resources or manpower for such a comprehensive package so custom quotes depending on your needs are available on an individualized basis.

The Community School Builder Web Site Solution was designed to help schools and districts develop Joomla! CMS websites to improve communication, collaboration, accountability and performance. We believe that we have a complete package that will suit most schools or districts needs.

Every Community School Builder web site solution includes the following features:

Features Overview

Joomla is so much more than just a powerful content management system. Here is a list of features "out of the box," but the true power of Joomla is in its extensibility. This extensibility is provided to schools and districts through the CSB Education Package offering specifically tailored/developed tools for the needs of educators.

User Management

Joomla has a registration system that allows users to configure personal options. There are nine user groups with various types of permissions on what users are allowed to access, edit, publish and administrate.

Authentication is an important part of user management and supports multiple protocols, including LDAP, OpenID, and even Gmail. This allows users to use their existing account information to streamline the registration process.

Media Manager

The Media Manager is the tool for easily managing media files or folders and you can configure the MIME type settings to handle any type of file. The Media Manager is integrated into the Article Editor tool so you can grab images and other files at any time.

iPhone Application

Administer your site with your iPhone. The iPhone allows you to administer the core functions of the web site such as create/edit/delete articles. Create/edit/delete/change passwords for users. Create/edit menu items and much more.

Language Manager

There is international support for many world languages and UTF-8 encoding. If you need your Web site in one language and the administrator panel in another, multiple languages are possible.

Banner Management

It's easy to set up banners on your Web site using the Banner Manager, starting with creating a client profile. Once you add campaigns and as many banners as you need, you can set impression numbers, special URLs, and more.

Contact Management

The Contact Manager helps your users to find the right person and their contact information. It also supports multiple contact forms going to specific individuals as well as groups.

Polls

If you want to find out more about your users, it's easy to create polls with multiple options.

Search

Help navigate users to most popular search items and provide the admin with search statistics.

Web Link Management

Providing link resources for site users is simple and you can sort them into categories, even count every click.

Content Management

You can organize your content any way you want and not necessarily how it will be on your Web site. Your users can rate articles, e-mail them to a friend, or automatically save a PDF (with UTF-8 support for all languages). Administrators can archive content for safekeeping, hiding it from site visitors.

Creating content is simple with the WYSIWYG editor, giving even novice users the ability to combine text, images in an attractive way. Once you've created your articles, there are a number of pre-installed modules to show the most popular articles, latest new items, newsflashes, related articles, and more.

Syndication and Newsfeed Management

With Joomla, it's easy to syndicate your site content, allowing your users to subscribe to new content in their favorite RSS reader. It's equally easy to integrate RSS feeds from other sources and aggregate them all on your site.

Menu Manager

The Menu Manager allows you to create as many menus and menu items as you need. You can structure your menu hierarchy (and nested menu items) completely independent of your content structure. Put one menu in multiple places and in any style you want; use rollovers, dropdown, flyouts and just about any other navigation system you can think of. Also automatic breadcrumbs are generated to help navigate your site users.

Template Management

Templates in Joomla are a powerful way to make your site look exactly the way you want and either use a single template for the entire site or a separate template for each site section. The level of visual control goes a step further with powerful template overrides, allowing you to customize each part of your pages.

Integrated Help System

Joomla has a built-in help section to assist users with finding what they need. A glossary explains the terms in plain English, a version checker makes sure you're using the latest version, a system information tool helps you troubleshoot, and, if all else fails, links to a wealth of online resources for additional help and support.

System Features

If your system administrator needs to troubleshoot an issue, debugging mode and error reporting are invaluable.

The FTP Layer allows file operations (like installing Extensions) without having to make all the folders and files writable, making your site administrator's life easier and increasing the security of your site.

Administators quickly and efficiently communicate with users one-on-one through private messaging or all site users via the mass mailing system.

Web Services

With Web services, you can use Remote Procedure Calls (via HTTP and XML). You can also integrate XML-RPC services with the Blogger and Joomla APIs.

Our mission is to successfully lead your organization or business into the new century.
